Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Pulling Li Dongfang in front, followed by Qin Mengru and Qin Yaru, they soon reached the back of the village. Li Dongfang saw an isolated courtyard with two mud houses, and asked curiously, "Why is this courtyard so far away from other houses?"

Qin Jingru took a look and said, "This is not a good place. Let's go around it."

Li Dongfang's curiosity was immediately aroused. The houses in the village were all built with yards next to each other, but this yard was 10 meters away from the other yards. It was lonely and particularly eye-catching.

"What's wrong? Is there a story?" Li Dongfang looked at Qin Jingru and said.

"What's the story? They were two dirty women with problematic conduct. No one in our village paid any attention to them. If it weren't for my uncle, the village chief, who stopped them, they would have been driven out of the village long ago." Qin Jingru explained impatiently.

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Li Dongfang turned to look at Qin Mengru and her sister.

Qin Mengru saw Li Dongfang's inquiring eyes and said after a pause: "This is what happened..."

It turned out that there were two women living here. They were both married to other villages, but were later driven back because they were said to have contracted a dirty disease. The villagers also spread the rumor that the two women contracted the disease because they were unfaithful to their husbands, so everyone isolated them.

As a skilled doctor, Li Dongfang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. What a lie! Is there a necessary connection between illness and adultery? How ignorant and pathetic!

As they were talking, they saw a woman carrying a basin out of the courtyard behind a low wall. She looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her clothes were worn but clean. Her hair was a little dry and her face was dull and black, but her facial features were very pretty. If she used a whitening filter, she would not be much worse than Qin Jingru.

After looking at it with the Chinese medicine's Wang technique, Li Dongfang immediately had a rough analysis in his mind. It was indeed an internal organ disease, that is, a gynecological disease. Nowadays, it is difficult for people to talk about this kind of disease, and they will not take the initiative to go to the hospital. This has caused many serious consequences, and even many women have chosen to commit suicide because they cannot bear the gossip.

Looking at this woman, although she was far away, Li Dongfang could still feel that she had lost any hope in life, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. After all, if he didn't care about a beautiful woman in her prime, she would probably die in a few years. To Li Dongfang, who came from an era when there were more men than women, it really felt like a waste of talent.

"She is sick." Li Dongfang said, looking in the direction of the yard.

"Of course. Didn't I tell you just now that you have a dirty disease? Why bother with all this? Let's go somewhere else." Qin Jingru pulled Li Dongfang and wanted to leave.

"Wait, I don't think their illness is very serious and should be cured soon." Li Dongfang said as he pulled out his arm that Qin Jingru was holding.

"Hey, Brother Dongfang, don't go over there. I heard that heart diseases are contagious." Qin Jingru quickly dissuaded him.

Qin Yaru looked at Li Dongfang and said, "Brother Dongfang, can you treat illnesses?"

"Well, I'm a doctor by profession and my medical skills are pretty good." Li Dongfang replied.

Qin Mengru also spoke up after hearing this: "Can it really be cured? I heard from the villagers that there is no cure for heart disease."

Li Dongfang patiently explained: "What you call dirty diseases are too general. Some are indeed transmitted by promiscuous women, but most are caused by germs and personal hygiene. However, as long as they are treated properly, they will basically be cured."

Qin Yaru hurriedly asked, "Then do you think Aunt Hongying's illness can be cured?"

Li Dongfang looked at Qin Yaru in surprise, and she quickly explained, "Aunt Hongying's house is next door to ours. Aunt Hongying is a very nice person. She has taken good care of us since we were young. She is also very pitiful. She was driven back after only two years of marriage, saying that she was unfaithful to her husband. No matter how Aunt Hongying explained, no one believed her. She is so pitiful."

"I'll try. It shouldn't be a problem. Aunt Hongying's full name is Qin Hongying, right?" Li Dongfang nodded.

"Yes, I...I'll go with you." Qin Mengru replied.

Li Dongfang waved his hand and said, "Wait for me here. Some diseases are hard to talk about in front of outsiders. To avoid embarrassment, don't follow me."

After that, Li Dong walked towards the yard, leaving the three women there. Qin Jingru stretched out her hand to stop him, but was stopped by Qin Yaru. Qin Jingru said unhappily, "Why are you pulling me? What if Brother Dongfang is infected with a dirty disease?"

Qin Yaru said: "Since Brother Dongfang is a doctor, he must know the answer. Let him try. After all, Aunt Hongying has suffered so much in recent years. Think about it, didn't she often take care of us when we were young?"

Qin Jingru shut up reluctantly, but in her heart she still didn't want Li Dongfang to treat Qin Hongying.

"Hello, are you Comrade Qin Hongying?" Li Dongfang walked to the wall at chest height and spoke.

"It's me. May I ask who you are?" Qin Hongying's tone was full of defensiveness.

Li Dongfang smiled calmly and said, "My name is Li Dongfang, a doctor from Union Hospital. I just happened to come to the village to visit relatives. I heard about your situation from Sister Mengru, so I wanted to see if I could help you."

Qin Hongying had obviously lost all hope in life over the years, and she refused directly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it."

Although Li Dongfang had expected this situation, he did not expect to be rejected so straightforwardly.

"Auntie Hongying, can I follow Mengru and the others in calling you that? Based on my experience, your situation shouldn't be a serious problem. It should be a large area of ​​bacterial infection, and it is very easy to cure. However, you have delayed it for too long, so it may be difficult to treat. I suggest that you seek treatment as soon as possible." Li Dongfang directly expressed his opinion.

Hearing Li Dongfang's words, Qin Hongying's eyes lit up for a moment, but then dimmed again and said, "Forget it, you can go away. Even if I cure it, there will still be people gossiping about it. In this case, what difference does it make whether I cure it or not?"

"How can it not be different? First of all, your body is your own. Secondly, you can live a better life after you recover, right? How can you just give up on yourself at such a young age?" Seeing that Qin Hongying was somewhat moved, Li Dongfang continued to persuade her: "Even if the villagers gossip about you, at most you can change your environment and find a job in the city. Even if you do odd jobs, you can support yourself, right? But all this must be based on your good health, what do you think?"

"But, but I don't have money to see a doctor." Qin Hongying said timidly.

"Don't worry about that. Your illness won't cost much. I will treat you for free." Li Dongfang did not say this nonsense. Antibiotics and bactericides are really not worth much money.
